This tool seems to work either on the whole /home/user directory or on the whole system. I do not want that. I just want to convert the encoding of filenames that belong to a single directory. I do not want to migrate the whole system to utf8. Moreover, the original question still remains. Given a bunch of files, how do I determine their current encoding? thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
